Beauty Byte: Sally Hansen Is Back to Making Makeup

Sally Hansen has partnered with TLC's What Not to Wear makeup maven Carmindy Bowyer to launch a new cosmetics collection called Natural Beauty. According to WWD, the 140-unit line is expected to hit stores next month. This is Hansen's second attempt at manufacturing makeup; in 2003, the company created a line called Healing Beauty, but it didn't take off.

Keeping in the trend for eco-friendly makeup, the paraben-free formulas include minerals and extracts of soy, bamboo, papaya, and mango. What's more, the line ($7.95–$12.95) will launch with a website that features video styling tips from Carmindy — so if you like your makeup natural, but applying it doesn't come naturally, you'll have a little help.

they no longer test on animals! please stay informed before spouting off the wrong thing! its not right and unfair to companies that are making a change!

Too bad she had to pair up with a company (Sally Hansen) that promotes animal cruelty by having animal testing. I thought Carmindy would have cared more, mabe she dosen't know any better. Now she's promoting this, it's disturbing, b/c so many are buying into it.

lol monica--peach gloss. But- in her defense, a lot of those women are makeup virgins and would freak if the color were too intense. And peach is more grown up than pink, and very flattering...sooo...But I will say, her Carmindy line nectar gloss (which is a peachy shade) is one of my favs. I've tried several things from this new line, and it's worht trying. the products are nice, great textures, and nice color options- nothing too funky or over the top, but a line full of great basics.

risqueredhead: Thanks for clearing that up! I also thought Sally Hansen tested on animals but I checked the caring consumer website & you're right, they're no longer listed as animals that test. I'm really excited because I used to love buying their nail polishes & topcoats. After I found out they tested on animals I stopped buying. I'm so glad they changed their ways. I hope others cosmetic companies will soon follow. Here's the link to the website for the lists of companies that do and do not test on animals:http://caringconsumer.com/resources_companies.asp

I'll definitely be checking this out. Carmindy is awesome, she always looks so fresh and beautiful.
I already like Sally Hansen lip glosses and nail polish so I'm expecting this new line to be of good quality.
